If you like starting from scratch, get a copy of "Procedures in
Experimental Physics" by John Strong.

And, relevant to the thermal time constant discussion.. That book has a
great section on thermal diffusion and conductivity, along with a chart
of material properties.
A newer book is "building scientific apparatus" by Moore, et al.
There's a whole section on precision temperature control (where
precision means milliKelvin)..
But not as much fundamentals stuff as in Strong. e.g. Moore assumes you
can buy a vacuum pump, Strong tells you how to build one..what a
difference 60 years makes.
But even Strong doesn't tell you how to make cast iron from ore.
Lindsay Books is your friend, then.
